Description
In this gripping account, the thirteen days of the 1978 Camp David summit become a tense drama of diplomacy, personality, and political risk. Lawrence Wright traces how U.S. president Jimmy Carter, Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin, and Egyptian president Anwar Sadat confronted deep mistrust, competing national interests, and seemingly insurmountable obstacles in pursuit of peace. Combining meticulous research with vivid narrative detail, the book offers an illuminating portrait of leadership, negotiation, and the fragile possibilities of reconciliation in the Middle East. It is both a compelling history of a diplomatic triumph and a timely study of how peace is made.
